“ I am just not a fan of this. Not sure why. ” -muskie027

“ Swinging his bat in the middle of the desert. Not a great card, but not terrible. ” -switzr1

“ I like this set, one of my favorite artsy sets. I wish it had a full name and position on the front, besides that it is nicely done. Just the last name is fine for players with unique names but when it is the Johnson, Jones, Smiths of the world it is annoying to have to turn over the card to see which one it is. ” -davidhandberry

“ I like the Turkey Red sets Topps did. Neat throwback to an earlier time, and an interesting texture on the cards. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ For some reason I have always like Turkey Red retro cards. Even though they and the original cards they are based on only have the player's last name shown on the front so lesser known players are difficult to figure out if you don't or can't read the back. ” -captkirk42

“ Love the Turkey Red version of the heritage cards ” -kirkscards

Turkey Red in the mid-2000's was one of my favorite sets. The artwork was clean but often too dark, like this example. The cards themselves hold an auto perfectly. This set will always be in my top 10.
